    Is there a way to record something off the DVR?

    say, to a PC or even a vcr? I suppose I could plug in the vcr to the video out, then tv to the vcr, old school... but pc would be preferrable. is an external hard drive the only supported device on usb?

    622 Running Feature Request Thread

    My request When you are 10 minutes into a show and realize you want to record it. You have been watching from the beginning, however, the 622 only lets you "record remainder of this event" I can rewind to the beginning, why can't it record from the beginning? I miss this from my Tivo.

    Another terrible/great customer service story

    I ordered a 622 when they first came out, replaced an 811 with it. there were some issues related to shipping, install, etc that ceo@dishnetwork was very helpful in ironing out. I finally ordered the 211 to replace the other 811 upstairs (don't ask me why it took so long, i don't know) and...

    Observations after a month of using my ViP622

    I just wanted to weigh in with my opinion. I'm sure there is a dedicated thread somewhere, but if I couldn't find it immediately, I'm sure some of you couldn't either :) Anyway, I had replaced an 811 and Tivo with the new 622 a month ago. I paid the $299 lease fee, as I didn't want to wait...

    Was the 622 upgrade worthwhile?

    Totally. Much better PQ than my 811.

    My Vip622 experience so far, coming from a Tivo and 811

    tried that, no luck. i'm going to remove the pre-amp today and see if that helps, i may even get up there and re-aim. from what i've been reading on avsforum the pre-amp can actually increase issues in some instances. easy enough to remove and try it. thanks

    My Vip622 experience so far, coming from a Tivo and 811

    Nice. thanks. I'm sure i'll get used to it. the whole dishpass vs create timer is confusing though.

    My Vip622 experience so far, coming from a Tivo and 811

    My Vip622 experience so far, coming from a Tivo and 811 updated Quick background... I've been a Tivo subscriber for probably 5 years. Love it. The OS is awesome. I love my Tivo like i love my Mac and like i love my Audi. just one of those things. so, bad news when they finally announced...

    Should I try 61.5 or 129 for HD?

    I'm in Sac as well and use the 61.5 and just had my 622 put in this morning :) installer came out, swapped the lnb, plugged it all in and it works. I have a 500 pointed at 110/119 and a 61.5 from the Voom days. no issues with signal strength. I have a Winegard SS1000 pointed at...

    Excellent Dish experience...

    I've been a Dish customer for about a year, and VOOM for 6 mos. before that... anyway, like everyone, i called on feb 1 for the 622. i was told the dvr would ship and be to me in 7-10 days. i didnt get it. i called dish a few times to try to track it down. half the csr's said it should be...

    Will I definitely need a Dish1000 for the new 622?

    Thanks :) What i wanted to hear.

    Will I definitely need a Dish1000 for the new 622?

    I have a Dish500 and a 2nd dish pointed to the 61.5 Voom bird, and the CSR told me that would suffice. I don't trust CSR's, but I do trust Satellite guys :) Anybody know for sure on this?

    Anybody else notice sound sync issues on TNTHD

    in particular "Into the West"? I also get issues on CBS OTA on my 811. But all the HD channels seem to have issues far more than the SD stuff... What a pain.
